In 1914 the British Empire was in many
respects at the very peak of power. The military and naval forces of
the Empire were well trained and highly loyal to "King and Country."
The Empire's incredible mix of people and cultures, as represented by the
careful military forces in 1914, are reunited in the pages of Forces of the British Empire-1914,
a
masterful and single-source guide to the units, uniforms, and badges of the
period. It includes all regular, militia, and territorial regiments and
formations in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
and India, as well as all colonies and protectorates. Complete with over 380
color photographs using the figures of The Nevins Collection, and
original drawings of regimental badges, the book is a must for historians and
collectors.
This amazing hook ... is sure to he a
standard work for many years to come.
